BLOG TOUR REVIEW - Unforgiven by Ruth Clampett

5 out of 5 (exceptional)

Unforgiven is the first book by Ruth Clampett that I have read, but if this is any indication of the quality of her work, it certainly won't be the last.

This story is slightly different from the normal, as you meet two young men who are both players. It is only as the story progresses, that you find out that one of them is gay and has feelings for the other. This book details their reactions, and how they deal with, as well as finding out secrets of abuse that one had kept quiet about.

This book is intense, on every level, and is absolutely fantastic. It is extremely well written, with no editing or grammatical errors to disrupt the reading flow. Each chapter is clearly marked so you know who is speaking at which point. With a well rounded cast of characters, including secondary characters, this story will draw you in and keep you gripped until the very last page. And what a last page!!! I am a sucker for epilogues as I'm always nosy and want to know 'what happens next'. Epilogues give me this, and this one delivered in spades. I loved every moment of this book, the high and the lows, the slow acknowledgement of self, the happiness that comes from finding out who you really are. Absolutely recommended by me.

* A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book, and my comments here are my honest opinion. *

Ruth Clampett is a 21st century woman, aspiring to be Wonder Woman…now if she could only find her cape and magic lasso. Meanwhile she’s juggling motherhood, a full-time job running her own art business, and writing romance late at night. Travel is her second obsession after writing, and it’s enabled her to meet reader and writer friends all over the world. She’s happily frazzled, and wouldn’t change a thing about her crazy life.

The rooms in her home are all painted different colors and her books are equally varied, infusing humor, drama, and passion into the romantic lives of strong heroines and heroes and their worthy and determined counterparts.

Ruth has published eight books: Animate Me, Mr. 365, the Work of Art Trilogy, WET, BURN and Unforgiven. She grew up and still happily resides in Los Angeles, and is heavily supervised by her teenage daughter, lovingly referred to as Snarky, who loves traveling with her mom with a sketchbook in hand.
